Workforce Resilience

Culture, Risk and the Economics of Retention

James Felton Keith addressing an audience at Aon.

Turnover is capital leaving the organization. James reframes retention as an investment and risk-management strategy, helping CHROs, boards, employers, and associations connect workforce culture, institutional knowledge, employment liability, ISO 30415, and management accountability to the real economics of organizational resilience.

What would change if retention were treated as capital preservation instead of an HR metric?
